Sorry for reviving this old post. I am currently installing this exact same battery in my 2015 F type. My only question is that the Old original battery that came with the Jag (a FIAMM) had one vent port on The positive terminal side. The negative terminal side appears to be closed and not open. However, on the Dura last battery both sides have open vent holes. My question is do I attach the vent tube to the positive terminal and leave the negative terminal open? Should I plug the negative terminal? It doesn’t seem as though I can remove the plug from the old battery to put in the news since it appears that it was closed at the factory. Not sure if you encountered this issue with your battery change since it appears as though you have the exact same battery pictured in your description. Thanks in advance for the help!

My turn to revive this old thread, as I finally got around to replacing the battery in my 2016 S Coupe.
In case it helps someone in the future, the notes I would add are:
In case it helps someone in the future, the notes I would add are:
- Some instructions say you don’t have to remove the tie down rod entirely, that you can unscrew one end and just swing it out of the way. I found this very much not the case, and my main challenge with this replacement was maneuvering the battery out.
- The negative cable had two screws at the battery end. I was trying to unscrew the wrong one and wondering why it wouldn’t budge. You want the smaller screw. It was easier for me to first unscrew the other end of that cable (where it connected to ground), maneuver the battery to get room, and then unscrew and remove the battery side of the cable.
- My powered hatch made an error beep after I tried closing via the button, after I reconnected the battery. I had to manually push it closed, and then it worked afterwards.
- I didn’t have to reset the auto windows on my car, for whatever reason.
Clock was fine too.Had to set the date.

Would anyone know the specs for a 2020 F-Type? I ask because none of the online battery shops seem to bring up a match for my specific config (2020 F-Type, 2.0L, Coupe).
I purchased this car 2 weeks ago and it has a low-battery warning. Have tried charging it but no luck. The car still has 6 months of warranty left, but JLR won't cover it since the previous owner already changed the battery. The car only has 20,000 miles on it so I'm guessing it has low battery due to sitting unused for most of its life, but are there any electrical issues I should get the dealership to check that could be causing these issues?

Not sure if they use the same battery as the older cars, but have anyone mentioned Costco interstate battery?
i can’t vouch for the longevity yet but $216(core charge and NY tax included) with 3 year warranty circa 2023 was a no brainier.

replaced battery on a 2020? Po must have done something inappropriate. One common issue is obd2 port draining the battery, consecutively if unaddressed.

The problem with Interstate/Costco is that their battery finder doesn’t show any matches for the car and MY, hence the questions.

Their selection is quite comprehensive, i didn’t bother checking online and just popped in there and provided my vin, once confirmed i verified the size code on the battery, they were right there on the shelf next to the counter.
If you want to be extra cautious and have no original battery to verify against, I’d give your local dealer a call or visit.

For a car as new as yours, this is the most likely culprit. It happened to me twice, both at the dealer. You'd think they'd know, but they are the same people the continually overfilled my oil,so...
